Any recommendations for the best type of pads to wear?

I'm about 4 weeks post surgery and realizing I will probably need to wear pads for quite a while. Going back to the office next week, which will be a milestone. If anyone has tried different types of pads, or has a definite favorite, I would appreciate any advice.

Speaking of Tena, here's a good blog from them, on the emotional impact of all of this:

Hi,
I have found that Tena pants and pads are the best. Look around for the best deal, as prices can vary.
All the best,

I suspect it is an individual choice. I bought small lots to try them out. Early one I needed a heavier pad and in a month of so a lighter pad and 4 months later no pads. Wearing black pants and shorts help too as drips don't show. Emotionally, I just sucked it up and viewed it as the new me.

You guys are all brave. I am in my 5th week post RALP. I been wearing depends sure fit. They are comfortable and don’t leak.
I am suppose to transition to pads now but just feel like there’s not enough protection. I am fairly active during the day,
